Error message was:Thats too bad, if the 2008 runtime isn't compatible with win2k then future Nmap versions wont be ether. There goes the backwards compatibility neighborhood. But I guess windows wants you to start developing embedded things on vista.
I mentioned the steps I went through to install the runtimes on Windows 2000 Server a few days ago[1]. I started with Service Pack 4 so I could install Windows Installer 3.1. Then I had to install Windows2000-KB835732-x86-ENU.EXE (MS04-011) so I could finally install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86). The MS04-011 requirement for the Visual C++ 2008 runtime installer doesn't appear to be well documented or is a bug/oversight, as Microsoft (as Chris mentioned) only states "Windows 2000 Service Pack 4" as a requirement. It's a four year old patch, so hopefully not many users will be affected. The Visual C++ 2008 runtimes are compatible with Windows 2000; but you need to make sure you've got the latest programs installed (i.e. OS patches and Windows Installer 3 or higher - NB: WI3.0 came out almost 4 years ago). I hope to improve the installer when I have some spare time so users are notified when the runtimes fail to install.
